Conservative Charles Krauthammer: Incompetence ‘Not A Very Good Defense’ For Trump Jr

[watch the video below]

Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer is slamming Republicans who defending Donald Trump Jr.

Krauthammer, during an interview on Fox News, compared Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer to attempting to receive stolen goods.

“They were saying for six months, we didn’t do it, there’s no evidence that we did it … Now they’re saying, yeah we did it, but it wasn’t so bad and we were incompetent at it. That’s not a very good defense,” Krauthammer said Tuesday.

“If you get in a car to go to a certain place in the middle of the night to pick up stolen goods, and it turns out the stolen goods don’t show up but the cops show up, I think you’re going to have a very weak story saying ‘I got swindled here,'” he continued.

“Look, this is incompetence, they got swindled and he admits ‘If I had known, I wouldn’t have done this,'” Krauthammer added.

“But to say ‘I love it,’ to be informed that the Russians are working on their behalf, contradicts six months of stories.”

“I defended them, because up until today there was no ‘there’ there,” Krauthammer continued.

“Well now there is a ‘there.'”

“The denial of collusion is very weak right now because it looks as if Don Jr. was receptive to receiving this information,” he concluded.

The statements from Charles Krauthammer comes after Donald Trump Jr. released emails confirming that he colluded with the Russians during the 2016 election.
